It happens due to many reasons like you have updated your Chrome browser and after that, you are encountering the crashing of Chrome or maybe you have installed some Chrome extensions in your browser which will be the reason for automatically closing of the browser so there are many ways that you can solve this process in Linux or any other machine basically here I am going to you some basics ways to solve this problem in any machine then I will write a way to how to solve in Linux if the basic approach won't work.
1. Uninstalled Chrome Extensions
You may have installed some Google Chrome extensions which caused the crashing of Google Chrome. What you can do is to uninstall the extension and see if it works for you
2. Clear Browsing History

3. Reinstallation of the browser
If the problem still persists you can uninstall the latest version of Chrome and reinstall it and restart or reboot your system. This may help in solving the issue
4. Linux solution
Above all you can use those steps on any machine but now I am writing the approach to how can you solve it on your Linux machine. The solution i am giving here can work in Windows and iOS or any other operating system but there is a slight difference in the commands that I am going to write about Linux so you can manage according to the commands that are available in your machine.
Remove the Debian package:
If you are not using the Debian package for installation of Chrome so first install the .deb package from Chrome or any other browser. Google provides you the Debian package for Chrome also you can install Chrome using `sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb ` or commands according to your machine. if chrome is showing the same problem what you can do is that there are different commands in your Linux command line
1. You can use the locate command to find the google-chrome-stable location.
the command is `locate google-chrome-stable` or `locate chrome` and the output will be the location of your Google Chrome on your machine. There will be generally paths where the all information regarding your browser.
2. Now find the config and cache location of your google chrome this may be in our home directory in Linux you can access both config and cache using /home/.config and /home/.cache and clear the cache and config data related to your chrome browser
There are cache and config files related to other applications you don't need to delete them they will cause a problem delete only the cache and config file related to Google Chrome and now restart your computer and install the Google Chrome deb package and it will solve the problem
The above approach can help you in Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and other machines there is slight difference of the commands that are used in those machines
If the problem still exists you can directly write to google. Google support
